Eierkuchen is usually served as a midday meal in Germany, with applesauce spread on. It is a sweet dish, and is somewhat comparable to crepes – in shape, that is. This is usually a big hit with kids, and fairly easy to make.

While traditional Baumkuchen would be impossible to create in a home kitchen, it is possible to make a mock version which is almost as good. This recipe requires some work, but will go well with coffee, especially around the holidays.
